In September 2019 at work we started seeing an unusual illness. People took more sick days off, people who never took sick days off took some off, and many people ended up with a dry cough for 4-7 weeks after other symptoms faded away.
For myself in October 2019 I had a bacterial sinus infection but I also had a dry cough that lasted for 7 weeks and had to be controlled with 2 powerful inhaled steroids and an anti-cough pill. That’s 3 different cough medicines. Eventually I was able to get off those meds. I understand being on any steroid for a long time is bad for the immune system.
The Wuhan Military games were held from October 18-27, 2019. Some say the virus was spread from there.
The event was also the nation’s largest military sports event ever with 9,308 athletes from 109 countries competing in 329 events and 27 sporting disciplines.
2020
This illness with the long cough continued to spread at work through spring 2020. In March 2020 I lost my sense of taste. At first the loss was subtle, then it got obvious. 5 days later I had flu-like symptoms which were also odd: I had pain in my leg muscles, not leg joints, plus other normal flu symptoms. I’d call this a moderate flu, which means, I felt like I was hit by a bus. I treated with rest, lots of water, vitamin D and C, and echinacea. I got the “long cough” again and was again on the same 3 powerful cough medicines for another 7 weeks.
Also in March 2020 we were sent to work from home. I still work from home today although most others work on site. I live in Michigan and we had a complete lockdown. Many businesses were completely closed like nail parlors, tattoo parlors, hair dressers, and restaurants. Roads were also closed, meaning we were told that unless we were a “high priority worker” we should not be on the road at all. We were only allowed to drive to get groceries and go to the doctor for necessary appointments. Low-priority appointments, like breast scans, and physical checkups, were banned via governor Whitmer. I got a special letter making me a “high priority worker” just so I could drive. I had to carry that with me anywhere I drove.
By summer 2020, the lowest season for flu, restaurants were allowed to partially open starting with 30% capacity, then 50%. Then in fall 2020 the same businesses were closed again and lockdowns began. It was at this point that governor Whitmer had exceeded her emergency powers, which have a time limit.
By December 2020 it was declared using accepted scientific techniques that we had acquired herd immunity. But that’s when the vaccines arrived and the vaccine mandates started all over the world. See this list of mandate articles. Most vaccines take 8-10 years of testing to make yet this one, for a brand new virus, arrived in 1 year. Plus it used brand new, never before used mRNA technology. How is that possible?
The J&J vaccine was supposed to be a typical old-style flu shot with weakened virus. The Pfizer and Moderna shots in the US were brand new mRNA technology with almost no testing. In fact official Pfizer papers said, in early 2021, the human trials were not yet done. We were the human trials.
I could not get a hair cut this year so I bought some clippers and shaved it off myself. This was fine for me being a man.
Studies were coming out showing how dangerous the mRNA vaccines were with death rates as high as 40x normal rates for other vaccines.
Toilet paper in several countries, including the US, was hard to find, and sometimes not available. Many memes were made about this including people getting toilet paper across the border by hiding it in cocaine. Then in 2021 we find out that at Longbeach California port, there are several acres of wood not being shipped out, it’s just stored there. (Much shipping from China goes through the Longbeach port.)
We also had a case where a woman in Australia thought she ordered 48 rolls of toilet paper, but she ordered 48 cases!
2021
The lockdowns of 2020-2021 came and went, and restaurants were opened slowly to 30% capacity, later 50%, as the weather warmed up in May 2021. By that time some restaurants and other businesses had closed forever, many people lost their jobs. Some were able to get loans for this emergency, but the bank will only give out so many loans before the loans stop. It’s never a good idea to run a business on loans. Use them very carefully.
We started seeing early studies on the vaccine done by third parties. It didn’t look good. The media tried to suppress these studies but some were distributed through other media that was not the corrupted MSM. Many people lost their accounts on Youtube and Discord for posting these studies to try and save lives. 300+ examples of censorship here since 2017. Look at entries for 2020 to present.
In summer 2021 my employer could not find enough full-time employees and we had to use temps, which were more expensive than full-time employees.
Many people quit in 2021 just to use the normal unemployment benefits. With Biden’s bonus $600 per week, it was more than they could earn with a job!
2022
2022 is here and we are seeing even more studies about how bad the vaccines are, along with official government data, and attempt by the CDC to erase records in VAERS for people who had side effects and were vaccinated.
We are also seeing more lawsuits against vaccine mandates, with 2 being won so far! And for some strange reason, euthanasia is being normalized in Canada, with books about euthanasia aimed at kids.
Also in 2022 we are facing 10% inflation. My employer has found some employees but they are mostly temps, to fill in positions we lost in 2020 and 2021. But they won’t work unless they get more pay, so the company pays more, which leaves less money for more experienced workers to get a raise (that means you).
Some companies are seeing people leave simply because they had to work so much overtime due to lack of employees in the local employment pool.
Since Biden had to get a loan to cover the $600 bonus unemployment for 2021, he has to raise taxes to pay back that loan. And people who got the bonus $600 will eventually pay it back, with interest. Also there were some people who didn’t read the directions for the $600 weekly bonus and now they have to pay it all back, it’s $6000 or more for a lump sum!
I’m also hearing a different reason that people are finding new jobs: their managers are terrible. I’ve taken college-level management classes. Those classes had the highest percent of lazy, unmotivated people I have ever seen. It’s possible these people in management had parents who wanted them to go to college, but they didn’t know what major to have, so they chose management. The classes are easy.
Summary
Based on a video I watched, the author says we are now set up to have another recession just like after WW2 with high inflation, and not enough money to cover salaries. We’ll see what happens.
I also live in Michigan and was considered an essential worker. I can’t believe I’ve forgotten some of those details...thank you for the reminder.
